Brief Introduction
Build teams that thrive through challenge and changeDescription
Participants will learn how to lead their team through the emotional quagmire caused by challenging situations in the workplace, such as organisational change, global pandemics and political events like Brexit. Learners will begin by developing a clear understanding of the impact of these events on the employee and how performance and productivity is affected. You will learn how to assess the situation, your own leadership approach and your people and how to strengthen your leadership capacities, engage your team through strong decision making and clear communication, inspiring higher productivity.
Participants will have the opportunity to join an on-line Leadership Learning Community where they can participate in developmental discussions, access live webinars, network with peers and directly discuss questions with an experienced Organisational Psychologist.

Being able to anticipate and identify challenging situations before they affect the team
Exploring the impact of change and challenge on your own leadership approach and understanding how this affects your team
Understanding the impact of challenging situations, such as organisational change and external events, on employees
Being able to apply techniques to ascertain what your team, and individuals within it, need from you during these situations
